1. Introduction. While analogues of the Schwarz inequality have been much studied in the context of positive linear maps of operator algebras ([1], [2], [6], [7], [10]) the simpler triangle inequality |ϕ(x)| ≦ (|x|) has been neglected, outside of (possibly non-commutative) integration theory—perhaps partly because except for the important and familiar example of traces, scalar maps satisfying the triangle inequality are rarely encountered. In fact we here prove that they are never encountered: every such map is a trace.For C*-algebras (norm-closed self-ad joint algebras of bounded operators on a Hilbert space) this means, for instance, that if the linear functional ϕ on the C*-algebra satisfies(†)then ϕ satisfies also the equivalent conditions (i) ϕ(xy) = ϕ(yx) for all x, y in ;(ii) ϕ(x*x) = ϕ(xx*) for all x in ;(iii) ϕ(x) = ϕ(uxu*) for all x in and all unitary u in Ae, the C*-lgebra formed from by adjunction of a unit element.

AbstractLet $\mathcal{M}$ and G denote, respectively, the maximal operator and the geometric maximal operator associated with the dyadic lattice on $\mathbb{R}^d$. (i)We prove that for any 0 < p < ∞, any weight w on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and any measurable f on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we have Fefferman–Stein-type estimate $$\begin{equation*} ||G(f)||_{L^p(w)}\leq e^{1/p}||f||_{L^p(\mathcal{M}w)}. \end{equation*} $$ For each p, the constant e1/p is the best possible.(ii)We show that for any weight w on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and any measurable f on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $$\begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} G(f)^{1/\mathcal{M}w}w\mbox{d}x\leq e\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} |f|^{1/w}w\mbox{d}x \end{equation*} $$ and prove that the constant e is optimal. Actually, we establish the above estimates in a more general setting of maximal operators on probability spaces equipped with a tree-like structure.

The keynote article (Goldrick, Putnam & Schwartz, 2016) discusses doubling phenomena occasionally found in code-switching corpora. Their analysis focuses on an English–Tamil sentence in which an SVO sequence in English is followed by a verb in Tamil, resulting in an apparent VOV structure: (1)

Let M be a σ-finite von Neumann algebra and α = {αt}t∈A be a representation of a compact abelian group A as *-automorphisms of M. Let Γ be the dual group of A and suppose that Γ is totally ordered with a positive semigroup Σ⊆Γ. The analytic algebra associated with α and Σ iswhere spα(a) is Arveson's spectrum. These algebras were studied (also for A not necessarily compact) by several authors starting with Loebl and Muhly [10].

Given a linear mapΦ:Mn→Mm, its multiplicity maps are defined as the family of linear mapsΦ⊗idk:Mn⊗Mk→Mm⊗Mk, whereidkdenotes the identity onMk. Let‖⋅‖1denote the trace-norm on matrices, as well as the induced trace-norm on linear maps of matrices, i.e.‖Φ‖1=max{‖Φ(X)‖1:X∈Mn,‖X‖1=1}. A fact of fundamental importance in both operator algebras and quantum information is that‖Φ⊗idk‖1can grow withk. In general, the rate of growth is bounded by‖Φ⊗idk‖1≤k‖Φ‖1, and matrix transposition is the canonical example of a map achieving this bound. We prove that, up to an equivalence, the transpose is the unique map achieving this bound. The equivalence is given in terms of complete trace-norm isometries, and the proof relies on a particular characterization of complete trace-norm isometries regarding preservation of certain multiplication relations.We use this result to characterize the set of single-shot quantum channel discrimination games satisfying a norm relation that, operationally, implies that the game can be won with certainty using entanglement, but is hard to win without entanglement. Specifically, we show that the well-known example of such a game, involving the Werner-Holevo channels, is essentially the unique game satisfying this norm relation. This constitutes a step towards a characterization of single-shot quantum channel discrimination games with maximal gap between optimal performance of entangled and unentangled strategies.

In this paper we prove some existence theorems for some weak problems with variable domains arising from hyperbolic equations of the type1.1where A = {A(t)} is, for example, a family of elliptic differential operators in space variables x = (x1, …, xn). Thus let H be a separable Hilbert space and let V(t) ⊂ H be a family of Hilbert spaces dense in H with continuous injections i(t): V(t) → H (0 ≦ t ≦ T < ∞). Let V’ (t) be the antidual of V(t) (i.e. the space of continuous conjugate linear maps V(t) → C) and using standard identifications one writes V(t) ⊂ H ⊂ V‘(t).

Let G be a compact Lie group and a an action of G on a C*-algebra as *-automorphisms. Let denote the set of G-finite elements for this action, i.e., the set of those such that the orbit {αg(x):g ∊ G} spans a finite dimensional space. is a common core for all the *-derivations generating one-parameter subgroups of the action α. Now let δ be a *-derivation with domain such that Let us pose the following two problems:Is δ closable, and is the closure of δ the generator of a strongly continuous one-parameter group of *-automorphisms?If is simple or prime, under what conditions does δ have a decompositionwhere is the generator of a one-parameter subgroup of α(G) and is a bounded, or approximately bounded derivation?

In [8], Rooney defines a class of complex-valued functions ζ each of which is analytic in a vertical strip α(ζ)< Res < β(ζ) in the complex s-plane and satisfies certain growth conditions as |Im s| →∞ along fixed lines Re s = c lying within this strip. These conditions mean that the functionsfulfil the requirements of the one-dimensional Mihlin-Hörmander theorem (see [6, p. 417]) and so can be regarded as Fourier multipliers for the Banach spaces . Consequently, each function gives rise to a family of bounded operators W[ζ,σ] σ ∈(α(ζ),β(ζ)), on , 1<p<∞.

The theory of noncommutative involutive Banach algebras (briefly Banach *-algebras) owes its origin to Gelfand and Naimark, who proved in 1943 the fundamental representation theorem that a Banach *-algebra with C*-condition(C*)is *-isomorphic and isometric to a norm-closed self-adjoint subalgebra of all bounded operators on a suitable Hilbert space.At the same time they conjectured that the C*-condition can be replaced by the B*-condition.(B*)In other words any B*-algebra is actually a C*-algebra. This was shown by Glimm and Kadison [5] in 1960.

It is well-known that a homomorphism ø(A→B) between groups A and B induces a homomorphism ø*(ZA→ZB) between the corresponding group rings ZA and ZB over the ring of integers Z. The identical congruence O on B and the unit element eB of B can be characterised by the equations x–y = 0 and x–eB = 0 (x,y ∈ B) respectively. Similarly the congruence Γø corresponding to ø and the corresponding normal subgroup of A areand {x∈A1 = A,(x–eA)ø = 0} respectively.
